Taking a look into the future, Ericsson ConsumerLab presents the sixth edition of its annual trend report.

The insights in the ”10 Hot Consumer Trends for 2017” report are based on Ericsson ConsumerLab’s global research activities over more than 20 years, as well as data points from an online survey of advanced internet users in 14 major cities.
